To all whom it may concern: i

Be it known that I, RALPH JOHN'CARNEY, a citizen of the United States. residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and Com- 5 monwealth of Massachusetts; have invented a new and useful Scarfpin, of which the following; is a specification. 7 My invention relates to an improvement in scarf-pins; and its object is to provide shank Z), is bent at right angles a short distance from said cup-plate a. The ornamental plate 0, and the disc 6, are-rigidly fastened to each other and formthe face member of the head of said scarf-pin. The smaller loop of the curved prong (Z, is soldered to 3 the disc re; said face member is then loosely secured upon the cup-plate a, in such a manner that it may-revolve thereupon. The point of the curved prong d, passes through the opening 7, in the cup-plate a The larger loop of said curved prong d, is free to emerge from the opening '7", when said face member is revolved in thefdirection of I the point of said curved prong (I, but the bend h, in curved prong (Z, by coming in contact with the depression g, in the cup-plate a, prevents said point ofthe curved prong d, from being entirely Withdrawn from the opening f, when said head member is revolved in an opposite direction. a

When the scarf-pin is ready to be put in place the point of the curved prong d, rests against the outside of the depression g, but does not project beyond the main outside surface of the cup-plate a. After the scarfpin has been putinfplace in the scarf, the

ornamental plate 0, by being revolved in.

the direction of the point of said curved )1011 (Z, will cause said curved Drorw d to l I i z: a

enter'the scarf after the manner of a corkscrew, thus holding said scarf-pin in place..' Said curved prong cl, may obviously be removed from said. scarf by a revolution of the ornamental plate. 0, in an opposite direction. 1

I am aware that prior to my inventionv there have been scarf-pins with a: prong designed to hold'them in place in the scarf; I therefore do not claim such a scarf-pin broadly; but i V i I claim: I

1. A scarf pin comprising in combination a shank, a back head'memberrigidly secured to oneend of said shank, a front head revolvably mounted on said back head memher, a spring prong fastened to said front head and passing throughan opening in said back head member, said prong curved to advance and retract the end thercofwhen said face member is turned inopposite direc tion relative to said back head member. i.

2. A scarf pin comprising in combination a shank, a back head member, a front head member, one ofsaidv members rigidly secured to. said shank,-and vthe other of said members mounted for turning movement; relative thereto, a prong fastened to said 9 front head member and passing through an opening in said back head-member, said prong curvedto advance. and retract the end thereof when o-neof said members is turned 35 relative to the other.

3; A scarf pin comprising in combination a pin portion, a head mounted for turning movement relative to said pin portion,: a back plate interposed between; said head and said pin portion and secured to the latter, and a prong mounted for' advance and retractile movement through said back plate. f j
